NEW DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AND LETTER TO PRESIDENT OF I.O.C. attention: National Sports Associations and                Concerned Persons The lawsuit matter involving Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas against Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett  continues. Recently, the USA District Court for the District of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, accepted a new, four-page COMPLAINT ( "lawsuit" ) filing  by Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas against these three CISS anarchists and autocrats. This lawsuit matter is solely based on defamation of character. In order to obtain a copy of the new defamation lawsuit, you may request by contacting DEAFSPORTLAWSUIT@aol.com Because Mr. Jordan, Dr. Ammons and Mr. Lovett refused  ( and are still refusing! )  to voluntarily submit to the jurisdiction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne, Switzerland,  Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas has once again been "forced" to file a lawsuit action against these three persons before the Civil Court in the state of Maryland since this Court has "personal jurisdiction" over its state's residents, Mr. Jordan and Dr. Ammons! Below please read  Mr. Pinkhasov Pinchas'  September 15, 2003 letter to the IOC President. www.deafsportlawsuit.com ************************************************* September 15, 2003 Dr. Jacques Rogge President of the IOC The IOC, Chateau d'Vidy 1007 Lausanne, Switzerland Subjects: CISS Leaders and IOC's View on Those Persons Who Refuse to Submit to Jurisdiction of  TAS/CAS Dear Dr. Rogge: In light of your constant busy schedule I pray you or your legal aides at the IOC office will find time and interest in reading and familiarizing with the contents of this ongoing letter and its supporting documents. Since my teenage years in the Soviet Union, I have been an ardent follower of Olympism and Olympic Games. Because of  my profound deafness handicap, I have also for the last 35 years been interested in the activities of the International Sports Committee of the Deaf ( "CISS" ) and Deaflympic Games. I write to you now because I am very concerned at the way the present leaders and administrators in the organization  of the CISS - Mr. John Lovett, Dr. Donalda Ammons and their advisor Mr. Jerald Jordan - conduct their daily business on behalf of the CISS. Briefly, the aim of this three-page letter is twofold: 1)  to open up your eyes by seeing and judging by yourself as to what kind of leaders and administrators the CISS currently has, and 2)  to find out as to how you and the IOC legal experts perceive those persons who do not recognize, respect and/or accept the jurisdiction of the IOC-created and blessed Tribunal Arbitral du Sport/Court of Arbitration for Sport ( "TAS/CAS" ). I am well aware that the IOC, like the CISS, is a self-regulated, independent and neutral organization. However, our deaf sports world views and looks up at the IOC as "our big brother and role model."  The deaf sports community gratefully acknowledges the fact that  in the last several years the IOC has been supporting the CISS financially and morally. I am also aware of the fact that in the past, the three persons, especially Jordan and Lovett, by artifically showcasing themselves as "competent  and successful international sports leaders," at various times visited you and your predecessor, Senor Juan Antonio Samaranch, at the IOC office premises in Lausanne. Through my e-mail communication to your associates Mr. Gilbert Felli, Miss Sylvie Espagnac and Miss Monica Rieder, you might be aware that in the last two years I have been engaged in the two different lawsuit  actions against Lovett, Ammons and Jordan at the USA District Court for the District of Maryland, in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I was "forced" to file these two lawsuits before that civil court primarily because the state of Maryland-based court was the "home state" of  Jordan and Ammons, therefore, it had "personal jurisdiction" over them. These two lawsuits are now either closed or dismissed because this civil court in the USA, interalia, was not a proper place to fully deal with my  international sports-related dispute claims against  Lovett, Ammons and Jordan. One of the main reasons that led me to sue these three persons was that Lovett, Ammons and Jordan mistreated and defamed me. Another reason was ( and still is ) that to bring these three persons as the reputed abusers of the CISS legal system, CISS anarchists  and autocrats to JUSTICE! What kind of work have Jordan, Ammons and Lovett done on behalf of the CISS lately? Let me vividly demonstrate the following seven randomly-chosen acts of improperties committed by the three persons inside the organization of the CISS: - a total of 343 rules in the CISS Constitution, Deaflympic Games Regulations and Deaf World Championship Regulations were broken in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 ( more new rule violations are coming ); - 11 out of 16 World Championships in ten sports were cancelled between 1995 and 2003;  Click here: http://www.deafsportlawsuit.com/update33.html - since April 1, 2000, Lovett ( as President and Member of the Legal Commission ),  Ammons ( as Secretary General and Member of the Legal Commission ) and Jordan ( as Member of the Legal Commission ) have been holding their respective office positions  in the CISS illegally; Click here: HelpUsWeb.com - Lovett as a lead author produced the 196-page book called CISS REVIEW 2001 which had a total of 202 errors and inaccuracies in it;  Click here: HelpUsWeb.com - Ammons as an official Minute taker of the 37th CISS Congress session produced its Minutes Report which had 53 errors and inaccuracies in it;  Click here: HelpUsWeb.com - Lovett and Ammons were in charge of  supervising the 208-page 2001 Deaflympic Summer Games Final Results Book, which had 556 errors and inaccuracies in it;  Click here: HelpUsWeb.com - Ammons as an acting CISS President conducted the first day of the recent 38th CISS Congress session in violation of the CISS Constitution rules 10.2.3 and 10.2.3.1.  Click here: http://www.deafsportlawsuit.com/update30.html All these foregoing facts were never disputed or challenged by Lovett, Ammons and Jordan when I disclosed them through my many lawsuit paper submissions to the court and  through my various stories published in  my website called deafsportlawsuit.com  Click here: HelpUsWeb.com In addition, I received a glossy copy of the official program book of the recently-concluded 15th Deaflympic Winter Games in Sundsvall, Sweden. On that book ( page 4 ) I read your message column in which you, among the other things, wrote such a sentence that there would be "1,000 athletes and officials" taking part at the Games  in Sundsvall    ( the fact, however, was that only 240 deaf athletes showed up at these Games ).  Click here: http://www.deafsportlawsuit.com/update27.html  Click here: http://www.deafsportlawsuit.com/update30.html Where and how did you get such an excessively-inflated figure like "1,000"? Could it be possible that Lovett and Ammons, in order to convince  the IOC to give funding/money to the CISS, gave you this misleading and highly-exaggerated statistical information? Moreover, on October 31, 2002, with Lovett's presence at a media function in Melbourne, Australia, another irresponsible and misleading public relations stunt scheme had been launched there to the world that "more than 4,500 athletes from 90 countries are expected to compete" at the coming 20th Deaflympic Summer Games in Melbourne in 2005. For example, the last Games among the deaf athletes held in the region of Oceania, i.e., in Christchurch, New Zealand, in January,1989, attracted just 959 athletes from 30 nations. Now, back to the main point of this letter. Because my two lawsuit actions in Baltimore never went to trial for certain reasons, I have lately been unsuccessful in trying to have Lovett, Ammons and Jordan to agree to submit to the full jurisdiction of  TAS/CAS in order to litigate my Statement of Claim. Attached is a draft copy of my Statement of Claim and its supporting documents for your review and perusal.  Click here: http://www.deafsportlawsuit.com/update36.html  Click here: http://www.deafsportlawsuit.com/update32.html What do you or your legal experts think of these? It is my position that Lovett, Ammons and Jordan are steadfastly, intentionally and willfully refusing to recognize, accept and respect the existence of  TAS/CAS by evading to arbitrate my Statement of Claim! In retrospect, in 1983, it was Senor Samaranch, who created TAS/CAS as the judicially proper forum of international sports-related disputes. Are Jordan, Ammons and Lovett as the CISS officials exempt or ineligible to be sued under the system of  TAS/CAS? Now, how do you or the IOC legal experts view a person such as Jordan, who  - as the only deaf bearer of the IOC's highest award called an Olympic Order - refuses to submit to the jurisdiction of  TAS/CAS? Or, shall the IOC and many different International Sports Federations continue to maintain their business relationship with Lovett and Ammons when the two persons themselves reject to submit to the jurisdiction of  TAS/CAS? Dr.Rogge, I would like to hear your or your legal aides' opinion on the above questions. In the meantime, I wish you and the IOC much success with the organization of next year's  XXVIIIth  edition of Olympic Summer Games in Athens. Olympically  Yours, Rafael Pinkhasov Pinchas
